Each book I've done somehow finds its own unique form, a specific way it has to be written, and once I find it, I stick with it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.
With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that the books have a life of their own, quite apart from me.
Each book is a separate entity for me. When I'm writing it, I enter its world and inhabit its vocabulary. I forget, as it were, that I ever wrote anything else.
When I write a book, I'm making it the best book I can.
When a new book comes out or becomes accessible in whatever form, I get it and I read it.
I wanted each of my books to be very different from the others, each to be special and uncategorizable, and I knew I could only do that a few times before I was in danger of repeating myself.
Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.
I write the books to amuse myself.
With each book you write you have to learn how to write that book - so every time, you have to start all over again.
I always have the impression that I write the same book.
